Daddy's Fish BowlA Clear View Of A Father's Family Experiences

So did you guys miss me? I know, it’s only been 3 days, but still, that seems like an eternity to me; as you know, bloggers don’t get any paid vacation. Well, even if you didn’t miss me, I sure missed you. Writing is something that I really enjoy doing & what can be better than writing about your family? I mean seriously, doing something that you enjoy (writing) and it’s about something you enjoy (family), it doesn’t get much better than that.

As most of you probably know, Google Adsense and I had a bit of a falling out last Friday. If you’re not aware, then you should follow me on Twitter here, as I tweeted extensively about my discontent and anger with the whole Adsense program. Those bastards disabled my account for what they deemed “invalid clicks”. I find it quite funny that these “invalid clicks” arose as soon as I was about to break the $100 payout point. So basically the way that I see it, google received an entire month of free advertising on my site & right as it came time to pay up, BOOM they cut me off.

Well after this unfortunate setback to Daddy’s Fish Bowl, I was honestly ready to throw in the towel. But the kind words of my Facebook & Twitter friends, as well as the possibility of other revenue sources pulled me thru and brought me back to the keyboard. As I said before, I do enjoy writing & writing about my family is a bonus; but doing it without the possibility of any compensation was something that did not rate high on my priority list. I’m not sure if you guys are aware, but writing these blog posts take a considerable amount of time. Time that could be spent with my family or towards advancing my “Packaging Science” career. So regardless of how much I love doing this, it has to be beneficial to those I care for, otherwise I’m just cheating them by spending valuable time doing something that I love instead of spending it with them (by the way, I’m writing this post after midnight, past my bedtime).

Which is why I’d like to send a big fat “screw you” out to google (this probably isn’t going to help with my Adsense appeal) and announce that a new ad company is now sponsoring Daddy’s Fish Bowl! I hope you enjoy and are able to find something useful from the content that they provide. Also, I’ve added a “donate button”. What exactly are you donating to? Probably my alcohol supply! You’ve seen the content of this site, and if you think that I can handle the mayhem of this household without a drink at the end of the night, then you are sadly mistaken! So go ahead, make a donation to the “Keep Keith Sane” fund!

Also, starting next Tuesday, Ty & Tre’s Toy Reviews will be returning.  They have quite of bit of information to share with you guys regarding their favorite play things, so I hope you are ready to hear all about it.  Something new to the site, which will be starting next week is the “Ask A Dad” section.  This new section will be designed to allow you, the reader to ask a Dad any questions that you’d like the answers too.  Whether it be parenting advice, toy suggestions, or what color socks I’m wearing today, send the questions in and it’ll be featured in this section. 

As always, please leave your comments, thoughts and suggestions on way that I can make this site better for you, the reader. Let me know if there are things I’m doing that don’t work for you, or if there are things that I’m not doing, which I should be.
